50% of the republican party agree's with me...We want our government reopened and our economy to work.
fact...Businesses and advancement of this country are the heart of our economy...NOT some loon that wants us to throw the baby out with the bath water.
Infrastructure, tech, science, education and manufacturing is the future of America.
OK and you do know that Obama could have agreed to funding that
delayed the individual mandate for one year. I hear that the insurance groups
wouldn't agree to that. Well why weren't the citizens in on the meeting with insurance groups to write up this contract our names were signed to requiring us to purchase?
And you do know that the initial offer had only two points to it, which
most people I know even ACA liberal supporters agreed was sensible:
* delaying the individual mandate for a year
* removing the tax on medical devices so it wouldn't harm companies
trying to provide services
so if you are for jobs and businesses,
wouldn't you have supported this first offer to sign the budget
with these two points and prevent the shutdown from ever going so far?
p.s. most conflicts I know are two sided
so I don't see how anyone can expect to blame one side more than the other
in this case the ACA already went through Congress and Courts
with the same objections not being heard or redressed
why not allow the two changes that all the opposition had agreed to
why punish and blame them when that was turned down?
